Hey fellow CLers:

I'm going snowboarding this weekend and was wondering how the GS performs in the snow, be it rear wheel drive and all. I'm planning on bringing cables with me...in the event I may need them.

My question is, Is a rear wheel drive car much more challenging to drive in the snow? even with chains on?

I appreciate any feedback.

Thanks.

If you can find another car to use---Use it! My GS with OEM 17's is a very poor performer in the snow. If you have the 16's and use chains you should be OK, but I would take a different car if possible...

chains should really help. make sure u press the "snow" ect switch. that will slow ur wheelspin down. i used blizzak winter tires, and that improves it...but does not make it a 4x4

I don't like the way the GS handles in the snow.
If I was able to choose I would take another car.

I switched out the OEM tires for Blizzak LM-22's a month ago....and it carved through the snow like a snowboard....plus I had gotten narrower snow tires, so it concentrated the more weight on the contact patches...for more grip while being able to cut through the white stuff

GS is not good in snow with stock tires. That's why I have FWD for the winter. In addition, lots of salt and sand...
